100

The 4 types of chemical bonds.

What are Ionic, Covalent, Van der Waals, & Hydrogen bonds?

100

The attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind. This is how water sticks to itself.

Give an example.

What is cohesion?

Water molecules

100

Alcohols: -OH group attached to end, polar due to electrons near oxygen atom, can form hydrogen bonds

What are hydroxyl groups?

100

Compounds with same molecular formula but have different structures and properties. 

What are isomers?

200

The atomic number and mass number of Nickel. 

What is the atomic number is 28?

What is the mass number is 58-59?

200

The sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms.

The one group of atoms that interact to form this bond. 

What are covalent bonds?

What are nonmetals?

200

The attraction of molecules to other substances. This is how water sticks to different molecules. 

Give an example. 

What is adhesion?

Water sticks to glass on graduated cylinder.

200

Involve carbon atom double bonded to oxygen atom (C=O), can be ketones or aldehydes depending on where the group is located

What is a carbonyl group?

200

The primary energy transferring molecule in the cell. Adenosine attached to three phosphate groups. 

What is adenosine triphosphate (ATP)?

300

The number of electrons in the outermost valence shell that completes the octet rule. 

What are 8 electrons?

300

Strongest chemical connection in which one atoms loses valence electrons and gains them from another. 

The two groups of atoms that interact to form this bond. 

What are Ionic bonds?

What are nonmetals and metals?

300

The amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost for 1 g of that substance to change its temperature by 1° C. 

What is specific heat?

300

-COOH, acts as an acid, can donate an H+ due to covalent bond between hydrogen and oxygen

What is a carboxyl group?

300

Pairs of molecules that are mirror images of each other. 

What are enantiomers?

400

Atoms will have the same electronegativity number. No positive or negative charges formed. Examples include N2, CCL4, & CO2.

What are non polar covalent bonds?

400

Weak bond formed between two molecules resulting from attraction between a hydrogen atom and electronegative atom in another. 

Give an example. 

What are hydrogen bonds?

Examples: H2O, NH3, HN, HF, etc. 

400

The type of solution in which water is the solvent. 

What is an aqueous solution?

400

-NH2, acts as a base, can pick of H+ from solution, usually found with a +1 charge

What is an amino group?

400

The components of organic molecules that are most commonly involved in chemical reactions. 

What are functional groups?

500

Atoms have different electronegativity levels. One atom is more positive/negative than the other. Examples: H2O, HCl, & NH3.

What are polar covalent bonds?

500

Bond formed when electrons are distributed asymmetrically in molecules/atoms that results in positive & negative charges in "hotspots." 

What are Van der Waals forces?

500

The stability of hydrogen bonds in water allow ice to float on less stable liquid bonds. 

What is water density?
500

Compound name Thiols, -SH, cross-linking of this group can occur to stabilize the protein structure

What is a sulfhydryl group?

500

The five elements that are most abundant in the human body. 

What are oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, & nitrogen?
